   In November 2022, the FCC published a Notice of Funding Opportunity   
   (NOFO) seeking community partners to develop outreach programs to   
   promote awareness of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) among   
   eligible households in historically underserved and unserved   
   communities as part of the ACP Outreach Grant Program. On Friday, March   
   10, 2023, the FCC announced approximately $66 million in grant funding   
   for two of the four sub-programs in the Outreach Program: the National   
   Competitive Outreach Program (NCOP) and the Tribal Competitive   
   Outreach Program (TCOP). The FCC's announcement accepts about 190 grant   
   applicants, amounting to $60 million for the NCOP, and 20 grant   
   applicants, amounting to about $6 million for the TCOP.   
      
   Once the Notice of Awards are issued, grant recipients will have 30   
   days to accept the awards. These funds will be used for digital   
   campaigns, door-to-door canvassing, operate phone banks, distribute   
   direct mail, host ACP application enrollment and outreach events in 50   
   states and territories. Grants in the other two sub-programs in the   
   Outreach Grant Program, the Your Home, Your Internet Outreach Grants   
   and the ACP Navigator Pilot Program Outreach Grants, will be announced   
   in the future.
